aur0raHAX - HTML5 app loader for Kindle
Hello everyone.
I've been working on this for the past few days and thought I should release it. You may have seen my video where I demoed khipwn, and saw the HTML5 app loader I used. I made that app loader, and here it is. Tutorial to install it: Step 1: Download aur0raHAX.zip from the attached files. Step 2: Extract the aur0raHAX.zip file onto your Kindle's root folder over USB. You should see a folder called 'aur0raHAX' with a file called 'hax.html' on the inside, as well as 'config.txt'. Step 3: Open the experimental browser, and go to "file:///mnt/us/aur0raHAX/hax.html" (you can bookmark this). Once it loads, you'll should see the aur0raHAX menu. This is where you launch your applications. Now you can transfer HTML5 apps into the apps folder inside of aur0raHAX and launch them with aur0raHAX. An example HTML5 app (a Caesar Cipher, code is 3) is in the Attached Files. Signing off; khitan Last edited by khitan; 05-07-2019 at 08:31 AM. Reason: Updates |

Topics such as this belong in the development forum, to where I'm now moving it.

aur0raHAX v0.4
aur0raHAX v0.4 comes with some more changes:
Dark mode! YAY! Removed 'loading hax' alert. Your aur0raHAX apps are now in aur0raHAX/apps, rather than just aur0raHAX/. The upside is then hax.html and config.txt are no longer in "Installed Apps", which I think looks better. Waits slightly longer to let the Apps load, to hopefully make applications show up more often (sometimes it doesn't load if the backend doesn't load fast enough). Signing off; khitan |

Thank you for sharing this!
Can this exploit be used to jailbreak the device and install something like KUAL? |

No. The web browser is "sandboxed".
